Unable to turn off the Wheel chocks and external APU

Featured Replies

I toggled the option for wheel chocks off and all the options of APU's are not highlighted, yet in SPOT mode (even during flight!!) the wheel chocks are visible as is the APU still attached...How can I turn these off--I have tried restarting and toggled it multiple times but no luck. I love the T7 so far but this is annoying thanks

Did you try a re-install?

Proud simmer since 1982 using the following simulators: Sublogic Flight Simulator 1 and 2. Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0, 5.1, FS95, FS98, FS2000, FS2002, FS2004, FSX (and unfortunately Flight!). Terminal Reality Fly 1 and 2.

Sounds like you loaded the plane on top of itself.  This can happen in two main circumstances:

  1. Setting the 777 as the default aircraft in the simulator (the default aircraft should always be one of the Microsoft aircraft)
  2. Loading the 777 and then changing liveries for the same model (LR to LR, or F to F)

This is explained in the Intro Manual, as are ways to avoid the issue in the future.

Please only recommend a reinstall when all other options have been exhausted.  9 times out of 10, it's user error that creates the problem, and reinstalling could only make problems worse.
